Psych GRE scores

[Antrush45]

Hi guys!

I’m applying to Clinical Psych programs Fall 2019. I just got my psych GRE score and it was a 700 (75th percentile). 

I did my undergrad and currently working on my masters both in Sport and Exercise Psychology. I definitely didn’t have a general psych background, most of the theories I studied became sport related. 

I am currently taking graduate psych courses to get myself more prepared for the program and to boost my transcript with more general psych courses. 

 

Here are are some of the schools I’m applying to:

UNT - Sport Psychology track

TTU - Sleep Medicine

ASU 

UHouston - Health psychology 

UAlabama - Sleep Medicine

Sam Houston - Forensic

ECU 

JMU - Sport Psychology

 

Do you guys think I’ll be good applying with this score or should I take it again in April?

Not all of the schools require me to send them but I did want to send them to most of them to prove that I have a good grasp of undergrad psych knowledge. 

My GRE scores (not taking this over again):

Verbal 164 (94th percentile)

Quant 153 (50th percentile) 

Undergrad GPA: 3.3

Graduate GPA: 4.0

Your subject test score is OK (not great, but good enough probably). Your Quant score may pose a bigger barrier. The biggest thing that stands out to me is the vast array of programs you are planning to apply to. When applying for your PhD, you want have an established research/clinical focus. Obviously, things can change somewhat over time, but you are applying to some pretty different tracks across these schools. Just make sure you are able to speak to how your background and interests align with these specific programs and concentrations. Mostly, the forensic sticks out to me. I can see how sports psychology, health psychology, and even sleep medicine can fit together. Forensic seems a little out of left field.
